Matter and its Interactions!

Matter surrounds us. It can take on many forms and change between one phase to the next. In this unit, second graders will be using the practices of scientists and engineers to discover more about matter!

Based on students' observations from playing with the high quality and low quality play-dohs, second graders quickly discovered that the low-quality play-doh wasn't really like the high-quality play-doh at all!

The low-quality play-doh was too sticky, too gritty, and fell over when you tried to stack it! Students have come up with their own tests to determine the quality of play-doh we will make in class the next few weeks. Here are the tests:Ms. Wagonheim's Room: Texture Test, Stickiness Test, and Flexibility Test
